Cd drive opens at random

Probably the fan or hard drive. Keep your eyes and ears open because if either one of them fails, you've got problems.

Maybe setting of shutdown start begining, try to restore system setting.Thx

1- Scanning computer to eliminate malwares, spywares and the viruses from your laptop.
2- Repairing and cleaning Windows registry.
These two tips are found to be very helpful to fix the laptop shutdown problem. Almost all the computer users surf internet which could result in viruses attacking your system. Some of these infections are really pesky and cause the machines to shutdown randomly.
The registry errors, however, are the internal errors and can become a cause of system crashes and freezes. The registry keys shall be in good health to keep a system perfect.
When I noticed my laptop keeps shutting down everytime, I tested the Intel Software Partner, RegInOut to fix the random shutdown problem with my laptop.

First, with the power off, open the computer case and disconnect the 4-pin power plug from the drive. Then at least the drive won't open and close while you try to figure out what's wrong.

One possibility is that the front panel open/close button on the drive is sticking. Then the drive thinks you're always pressing the button. In that case, replace the drive. New DVD/CD burner drives are only $30 or so, so it isn't worth repairing one. I think you'll probably find the drive is just faulty.

Another possibility is that your computer has a virus. Random drive opening and closing was caused by a virus going around a while ago. I don't remember the virus name, but it was quite a while ago. Still, it's worth checking unless you're absolutely sure you have up-to-date antivirus software and you've been scanning your computer regularly. I would suggest downloading the free version of MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware and doing a complete scan to see if it finds anything. If it does, let it correct the problem.

If it turns out to be a virus problem, don't forget to plug the power connector back into the CD drive when you've cleared the trouble.

Hope this helps, and thanks for using Fixya!

First use the recovery cd ..or installation cd ..to reinstall the operation system ....cause this is a sign that it got a bug on the system ..or has some damaged files that slow it down ....
Another thing ...if it worked like this always...I sugest to downgrade to windows xp .cause you probably do not have enough Ram memory for this OS ...or upgrade the ram by inserting one more slot if it has free slots...
for vista to operate well enough in a computer you need at least 2G of ram memory ...if you have only one ....better install windows XP ...if you want to downgrade to Xp and do not have the drivers ..let me know to link you to a download location ...

I can propose a workaround, if it is hardware related. Burn an image from the CD and Load it in a program like Daemon Tools. You can change the letter of the virtual CD drive via My Computer > Manage > Disk Management. But if you have the problem with only this game, it is probably the game itself. Just save more frequently.

tried to reinstall/update your audio drivers and tixed your sound equlizer.

I figured out how to deal with the "No Scan Option" error on the HP J6480 when scanning from the panel of the printer.

The reason it did not work is because the HP Digital Image Monitor was not installed. It would not install, because I never successfully uninstalled the printer.

I followed Almost There's (HP Support Group) tips for uninstalling, namely:

1. Load the Installer CD
2. Right click CD/DVD ROM Drive (drive where you load the CD)
3. Click Explore>Open Util folder>CCC>Uninstall L1,L2 and L3. Don't uninstall L4.
4. Restart your computer then proceed reinstalling the SW.

Then I downloaded the from the HP Website the Full (not basic) software version.

I then ran it on my computer. It found the printer. Ta dah, I could scan from the printer because the HP Digital Monitor is now installed.

I do have Kaspersky Security on my computer. With firewall turned on, it still works.

I hope this helps anyone else

First thing that comes to mind is that it is overheating which causes the shutdown problem. When running the ant-virus the computer uses a lot of resources and it gets hot fast. When laptop is turned off, inspect all areas for dust build up around any openings. You can also remove the compartment lids and inspect those too. The best way to clean out dust is to use compressed air that comes in a can and q-tips. Blow the air into all the openings and use the q-tips to whip away dust build up. Once you think that it is clean, turn it on and make sure that the fans are running if your unit has them. While it is running, you can use a free on line scanner that uses less resources just in case it still overheats over time.
